Matrix Attributes (Attribute Group with BDT Application)

The following overview compares the status of a matrix element in the contract before the product change with the status of a matrix element in the target product, and specifies how a product change changes the status of a matrix element in the contract. The traffic light reading of the matrix attribute itself is not relevant, because the traffic light reading of each matrix element is evaluated. The system handles each matrix element like a feature.

Traffic light and padlock of matrix elements

Contract before product change		Target product		Contract after product change
Traffic light	Padlock	Traffic light	Padlock	Contract after product change
	Irrelevant		Irrelevant	+ irrelevant Matrix element is still not active in the contract after the product change
	Irrelevant			+ Matrix element is no longer active in the contract after the product change
	Irrelevant			+ If the attribute origin of the attribute group reflects value 0100 (field values of the source contract), after the product change, the matrix element is still active in the contract. + If the attribute origin of the attribute group reflects value 0200 (attribute values of the target product) , after the product change, the matrix element is no longer active in the contract.
	Irrelevant			+ Matrix element is active in the contract after the product change
	Irrelevant			+ If the attribute origin of the attribute group reflects value 0100 (field values of the source contract), after the product change, the matrix element is still not active in the contract. + If the attribute origin of the attribute group reflects value 0200 (attribute values of the target product) , after the product change, the matrix element is no longer active in the contract.
